I was curious about “Harinia” for Sardinia and “Ranana” for London and all that, but I’d heard in the past that a lot of Polynesian languages have relatively few letters to them, so I googled Māori. It’s got 10 consonants and five vowels:
> The Māori alphabet or Te Pū Taka Māori consists of 10 consonents and 5 vowels.

> In alphabetical order they are
> a, e, h, i, k, m, n, ng, o, p, r, t, u, w, wh
Yeah, with no L or S, I guess you have to modify a lot of place-names.
